Did anyone watch this show? (Marvel's summer Freeform series)

I didn't manage to catch any of it while it was initially airing (the first ten-episode season concluded on Thursday), but I'm marathoning it today and am (per Subject line) through episode 4.

The "check your privilege" scene in this episode reminded me of some of the racial commentary in Black Lightning. This show definitely goes much less all-in on that than Black Lightning since one of our co-leads is a white woman and our narrative time is split between each of the co-lead's lives, but it definitely exists throughout -- and having Tyrone come from a wealthy family enables it to do some of the same stuff as Black Lightning about how your class/respectability privilege will not necessarily save you. It would maybe have been kind of nice if Expandspoiler )

Okay, I have now completed Season 1. (Who wants to talk to me about it?)
